Class of 2025 Debutants: Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the release of the sophomore rankings, many talented players made their PrepHoopsTN ranking debuts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1663395' first='Christian' last='Vela'] (Grace Christian) - A little stiff to project as a D1 player. His most marketable skill is currently shooting touch and patience in tight situations. Check out his <a href="https://prephoops.com/2022/11/kay-manard-classic-recapture/">extended evaluation</a> coming out of the @PrepHoopsTN Fall Combine.<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1664274' first='Chase' last='Bandy'] (Siegel)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1644276"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6387917b341e8"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>[player_tooltip player_id='1644276' first='Jack' last='Townsend'] (Kings Academy)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1644276' first='Jack' last='Townsend'] really invested in the weight room, and with his skill development earned a starting position in the King's Academy rotation. The sophomore looks ready to have a bright future and this debut reflects that potential. Jack is a lefty with a nice shooting touch. He plays with eagerness and bravery in the lane despite often giving up size to big defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br>[player_tooltip player_id='1578709' first='Malcolm' last='Ashley'] (Oakland)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Raw skills.

Instead of playing power forward, where most 6-foot-5 sophomores would be comfortable, Claybrook operates as a combo forward already. His future appears to be a D2-MM small forward. The elegance of his gait and innate strength are wonderful.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6387917b342ee"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1399745' first='Kaleb' last='Williams'] (Trinity Christian) - Very, very slight of frame. Kaleb will be a point guard, and is. Unfortunately, BCAT 100's wonderful event included hoards of aspiring college point guards and Kaleb rarely was able to run an offense. Williams is an outstanding student, his G.P.A. hovering around 3.70. Quick. Shoots a smooth shot. Needs to improve his endurance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
